I got an idea that i think might be a nice add on, this comes from my Garmin GPS. Garmin gives you the option to change the tacking icon. (sports car, bikes, cell phones, arrow, and so on) to be able to choose from, instead of the boring blue dot. I think it would be a nice add on. anyway to incorporate that to the software/system?

I agree it would be a great flexibility to be able to customize the icon on the map. It's on our list but with low priority. The current icon was carefully designed to bear the stop number and take as less as space as possible. I'll try to squeeze this feature to the dev queue.
